The trouble with feeding th birds....

 The annual bird feeding fiasco has started again....We have a very good assortment of different varieties of birds that reside in our backyard...Finches, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Titmice, Cardinals, and Robins, forgive me if I have forgotten one of the species. And of course, the unwanted, RATS !!!!! or perhaps I should say... rat. Not having names it could be more than one. They all look alike.... 

It becomes a life and death matter...I hate RATS.....they love birdseed........and we tango all winter long. The most I have caught  in one trap, at one time, was three...they all got the dinner bell followed by the snap at once. Chow down at Morgans' gobble...snap. We have seen one fairly consistently for the last week but if you see one there's got to be several under the deck. I put the trap out this morning and the hunt is on......I will Win...........!!!! 

Tulsa has been living a charmed winter, no measurable snow. That will probably change in February or March......perhaps an April surprise...I'll keep you posted.
